Description
This tour is designed to give the transportation challenged tourist opportunity to see the outskirts of Anchorage at a reasonable price. Anchorage is the single largest sprawling metropolitan city in Alaska. On the Anchorage All Around City Tour we have combined the hard to reach sought after attractions that are located on the furthest corners of Anchorage. This leaves you the ability to leisurely access city center tourist attractions by simply following a walking tour map. Our driver is always happy to offer suggestions of sights or other tours not to miss. Tour Includes: Most of Anchorage’s popular sites in town Alaska Wild Berry Products, Ship Creek, Earthquake Park, Point Woronzof, University of Alaska, the Ulu Factory, even the Alaska Native Hospital where you will see one of Alaska’s largest collection of Native Art. Of course there is always a chance to see a "City Moose". Moose population in the city during winter are extreme.

Tour Options
Itinerary
The Ulu Factory
Learn the history, origins and how to use an ULU knife used Natives to flay whale and salmon.
Earthquake Park
Prior to arriving at Earthquake Park we will visit exhibits to learn about the 1964 - 9.2 earthquake.
Lake Hood Harbor
See the world's busiest Float Plane Lake.
Alaska Wild Berry Products
At Alaska Wild Berry Products you will see the World’s Largest Chocolate Water Fall! The falls incorporates over 3000 pounds of chocolate, authentic copper candy kettles, and a specially built warming and mixing system. The chocolate gushes out of the fountain head, cascades down the kettles, then settles in the swirling chocolate pool. And by the way, if you're tempted by the luscious smell to sample some of the flowing melted candy, please don't. The chocolate waterfall is for your visual enjoyment only. The store has plenty of delicious chocolate at the candy counter to your left. And you can sample before you buy.
Alaska Native Medical Center Craft Shop
Visit the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) – Ok, so if you're not native, you might think you would have no reason to visit ANMC, but you'd be wrong. At this hospital you will see one of the largest collection of Native Art from all around Alaska that represents over 227 federally recognized tribes in Alaska and rivals anything you will see in a museum. In fact, the collection is probably better. Here you will get a true flavor of Alaska’s rich Native history and learn about ANCSA. There's also a Native craft gift shop that will make you drool... They only mark up the art by 20 percent unlike the 150 percent markup you find downtown. And if you choose to purchase, wouldn't you feel good knowing that the proceeds from your purchase go to improve healthcare? Yeah, we thought so. Often there are Native Artisans on-sight selling their wares and even Native foods. Craft shop is closed on Saturday and Sunday and is only open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Fun day
Melissa gave us a really fun day! We enjoyed the extra effort she made to take advantage of things that popped up like the moose wandering around the airport:) We also really enjoyed hearing her talk about growing up in Alaska. The very best of travel….seeing a different place and learning about the people who live there. We will always remember the fun day we had with her!
K
Excellent tour
Tour was amazing- confirmed with Ben who was the tour manager and was in excellent communication with us about departure point and texted us with details. Donna was an excellent guide. She was fun, incredibly knowledgeable and showed us the most important and interesting parts of Anchorage. Was our first trip to Anchorage and only here for a few days- so it was a great tour to see the highlights without wasting time. And the last stop Beluga Point was just breathtaking. Would highly recommend this tour!
K
Great if you’re only visiting for a couple of days.
After a few organisational issues, we enjoyed our tour around town. It was a great way to see Anchorage in the snow without worrying about where to go and how to get there. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative and made a significant effort to keep us entertained.

Chris = Great tour
Chris is excellent. He knows history and with Anchorage his birth home, he made it so alive. And, the snow was icing on the cake.

Anchorage’s best! Not to be missed
Aunt Gary made it all come alive. The conversational histories, entertaining stories, invitations for any of our questions, super comfortable van and seats, and small group setting made it a delight. It was our first full day in Alaska. This is the tour you want and ask for Aunt Gary. Yes, ‘Aunt’ is his nickname because of all the cooking and gatherings he does for his groups of friends.
